I realize that NBA General Managers are relatively handcuffed when it comes to building their franchises. There are cap restrictions, veteran minimums, and large tax ramifications for entering the Second Apron. Your team is stuck with players on bad contracts, aging players, injured players, and players looking for an extension. Add to it that there […]

Michael Jordan ended his career with the Washington Wizards, Tom Brady exited as a Tampa Bay Buccaneer, and Willie Mays took his final swing as a New York Met. After 23 seasons in the NBA, including 11 with Cleveland, 4 with Miami, and 8 with the Lakers, no one will be surprised to see LeBron […]

Let me get this straight. The Denver Nuggets are now down three games to two after defeating the Minnesota Timberwolves, 125-113, at the Pepsi Center last night. But Minnesota was without the injured Anthony Edwards (knee), the injured Donte DiVincenzo (Achilles), and Naz Reid, who left the game with an injury after just 12 minutes. […]

It would have been nice to see Steph Curry, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (SGA), or Giannis Antetokounmpo in the All-Star Game this past weekend, but sadly, all were out with injuries. Team World played most of the contest without Nikola Jokic, Luka Doncic, and, of course, SGA and Giannis. In other words, Team World was in a […]

Okay, let’s see if I have this correct. Jarrett Stidham almost went to the Super Bowl, Bill Belichick failed to make the Hall of Fame, and Shedeur Sanders is a Pro Bowler? New England is back in the Super Bowl again, everyone hates Bad Bunny, and Sam Darnold is the MVP favorite? The Winter Olympics […]

For the first time since 2008, four number-one seeds have advanced to the Final Four in this year’s NCAA College Basketball Championships, and we shouldn’t be surprised. The tournament committee properly seeded Auburn, Duke, Florida, and Houston, placed them in regions that limited team travel, encouraged home fans to attend, and pitted them against schools […]

It is being called one of the biggest trades of all time. Bigger than Shaq to the Heat (2004), Harden to the Nets (2021), or Durant to the Suns (2023). Bigger than Michael Burry during the collapse of the housing market (2007), George Soros messing with the Bank of England (1992), and bigger than Peter […]

Understanding the basic concept of the Olympic Games seems simple. Qualify for an individual or team event, compete against other countries that are doing the same, and stand on the podium if you finish in the top three. Understanding the difference between Olympic style handball and American handball. That’s more of a mystery. And what […]

The Thanksgiving table can get contentious at times. Generations of family loudly discussing politics, sports, and the proper use of nonbinary pronouns. Grandpa may never understand the difference between he/him/his and they/them/theirs, but he will go to his deathbed with the belief that Bill Russell with his 11 rings, is the greatest basketball player of […]

Opening the 2023-24 NBA season against LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers would have been big enough news by itself, but tonight there is more. The team will probably come running out onto the court as the DJ blasts Tobe Nwigwe’s song “Fye Fye.” Flashing lights will shoot across the darkened arena like a […]
